Quick reminder that Ralph Nader had zero impact on the electoral outcome of the 2000 election, which Bush didn't win anyway He was gifted the presidency by the supreme court, a decision Al Gore immediately accepted for some reason

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

that chatbot doing that unsafe/violative thing is not it 'going rogue' or an 'unfortunate incident of unintended consequences,' it’s the logical and devastating consequences of an unsafe product put out by irresponsible companies that have been conditioned to believe consequences dont exist for them

Jack Smith defends his team of prosecutors: "I'm extremely proud to have worked with them, and the fact that they have been targeted illegally, lost their jobs illegally, and had their lives turned upside down by this Department of Justice is an outrage."

ICE is now lying in wait outside convenience stores, or at busy intersections. Agents are arresting people at international airports. Local police and sheriffs, deputized by the federal government, are detaining immigrants during traffic stops. ICE is now detaining more immigrants than ever before.
A chart that shows a timeline of ICE immigration enforcement against different significant events (Los Angeles raids, Minneapolis and Chicago raids), with a line in late March 2026 that says "New enforcement strategy begins" before a peak of over 1,500 daily arrests in July 2026.

Absolutely insane
Bad news on the MX Keys Mini pickup. Usman showed up at your building around 9:15 and waited, messaged a bunch of times, and nobody came down. He left angry at 9:38 and left a negative rating.
Worse, my auto-reply told him "Yep I'm here!" at 9:27 when you clearly weren't available, which is on me. That's a bad look and it made the no-show worse.
I've sent him an apology from your account owning it and offering to try again another day.
But the negative rating is real, and I should probably stop the auto-replies from claiming you're home when I can't verify that. Want me to change the pickup replies so they don't promise you're there?

guess which frame was hung off-balance
A photo of two framed photographs on a wall. A top the right corner of the frame on the left is a small hotel bottle of lotion

The photo on the left is for army dudes from World War II standing next to a World War II Jeep, the photo on the right is of Morro rock with a troop landing craft in the water, pushing up a low wake as it traverses the Bay with about 22 men inside… but the image is so zoomed in and blown up… It looks like a painting…… It could be a painting?

1) I don't trust the polls. polling is cooked - the polling methodology in 2026 requires putting a finger on the scale to the extent it basically becomes a guess 2) I don't see how 2026 could possibly be anything other than "2018 + $5/gal gas" which sounds really fucking bad for Republicans

Russ Vought just sent a rescissions request to Congress, signaling he intends to illegally impound funds. The $810 million highlighted in this “request” (but this is a pretext to just illegally impound the funds) is not the exhaustive list of many billions of dollars he’s impounding this year.

Hey, AI wastes billions of gallons of water, but have you seen all of that water wasted on food crops
The data center with the highest known water consumption, Google's development in Council Bluffs, Iowa, consumes about 1.3 billion gallons a year. That sounds massive, but so is the amount of water used to irrigate Iowas corn crops. If Google had bought a cornfield four to six times as large as the data center's plot, or about eight square miles (roughly 0.04 percent of the total

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.

ICE cannot do what it’s doing without local law enforcement. They need their manpower and infrastructure. That means if you want to stop ICE you are going to have to confront police collaboration and police power. I’m sorry but progressive hopes of avoiding this conflict are a recipe for failure.
